Lebanon Strawberry Festival

The 112th Festival​Roaring Strawberries​will be held on June 3rd - 6th 2021

- CANCELLATION - SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT - COVID 19

After careful consideration for the welfare of the public and the impact that COVID-19 continues to have on our city and its residents, the 2020 Lebanon Strawberry Festival is canceled. This decision did not come easy, the City of Lebanon, city leaders and the Strawberry Festival Board have come to this mutual decision to safeguard our community.

As the summer months approach, our focus needs to be continuing any and all safety measures to prevent the spread of the virus and rebuilding our community by following the Governor’s Stay Home Save Lives Order. It is uncertain when the required social distancing and restrictions on mass gatherings will be lifted, and due to the size of the event, we must consider the greater good.

We have a proud history of 111 years of tradition with the Lebanon Strawberry Festival. The Strawberry Festival Board is dedicated to improving our festival for years to come, and it is our goal that we will be able to come together and celebrate tradition, health and renewed excitement for our future next spring. Please stay safe, stay healthy, and continue to show support for our community by supporting each other. Lebanon will always be the city that friendliness built. We are in this together.

The Lebanon Strawberry Festival is a community wide celebration held each year during the first full weekend in June. It is a wonderful time to celebrate all of the things we love about Lebanon, and the pride each of us has in calling this place "home". Started in 1909 as a celebration of the bountiful berry harvests, the Strawberry Festival continues today as a chance to bring our community together, and to celebrate with pride all of Lebanon's beauty and friendliness. ​

The Strawberry Festival is a deeply rooted tradition for so many Lebanon families--dating back for generations; and it has become equally special to see new residents and visitors alike be welcomed to our small town during this festival time. We hope you fall in love with our festival just as much, and make it a tradition of your own! As the second longest running annual festivalin the state of Oregon (second only to the Rose Festival in Portland), the Lebanon Strawberry Festival is proudly organized each year by a board of directors comprised entirely of volunteers. Each has his or her own reasons for being passionate about the Strawberry Festival, and each is dedicated to continuing the tradition of bringing this event to our community for many generations to come. ​We love being one of the few remaining festivals that offers free entry to everyone, making sure that all families have the opportunity to come out and celebrate with us. Whether it is watching our Saturday night fireworks display, enjoying a complimentary piece of our World's Largest Strawberry Shortcake, taking in one of our parades, or just sitting back and relaxing on the lawn to watch some entertainment on our main stage, the Strawberry Festival offers something for everyone, and for every budget. So be sure and mark your calendars each year for the first full weekend in June, and plan on coming out to Cheadle Lake Park and celebrating the Strawberry Festival with us. We look forward to seeing you all there! ​​
